Happy Halloween! From Uganda.

So here I am, sitting in my room, typing, listening to Frank Sinatra. And running to the bathroom every ten minutes. Oh the joys of Ugandan food...

Actually, it hasn't been that bad and this is only the second stomach problem I have had. This makes me happy...not gonna lie.

This morning we went to Bujagali Falls, we Boda'd and it took forever! I really loved it there though...on the Nile, and hiking around. I must've taken a million pictures. However, toward the end was when I started feeling sick, so I left early and let me tell you, that Boda ride was a nightmare. haha On the dirt road, in the heat with all the pot holes.

I finally got back to the house and the gate was locked, so I rang the doorbell and Alex came out, "Who goes there?"..."Emily!"..."Are you here to see the wizard?", as he peaks his face through the little hand hole that I usually would have used to open the gate..."No, I'm here to throw up."...he laughs. "Why are you alone?"..."Because I need to throw up.".."Oh! You were serious! I'm trying to find the right key!", and so Betty comes over and helps him unlock the gate. I laughed...ran inside, changed my clothes, laid down in bed and felt a little better. I'm doing okay now, I just ate some rice, which is the first thing I've eaten all day and it's seven at night.

ANYWAYS, enough about my stomach problamos! No one wants to hear about those. haha I just thought the whole gate issue was kind of hilarious, but maybe you had to be there.

Yesterday was Halloween and so we dressed up for the Suubi meeting...Kate and I wore traditional Ugandan dresses and the ladies all yelled (by this I mean like, African tribal scream haha) and made their little clicky noises when we walked into the room...it was fantastic. Rachel (Stroud) dressed as a cowgirl, and Becca was a Hippie. We handed out sweeties. And Kate and I were told that we looked very smart by atleast every woman. So funny.

On the way home we gave Christine and Jennifer a ride, and I got to hold baby Adam (the one that was named after Adam haha)...he is so cute and has gotten so big! I told Adam that he looked just like him. He didn't laugh. But I did.

We gave random village kids sweeties on the ride home. They were pretty happy. And it was pretty stinkin' cute! As usual.
